Tasting- 2011 Les Perles Piquepoul

Name: Les Perles Piquepoul
Variety: Piquepoul
Sub-region: Cotes de Thau
Region: Languedoc-Roussillon
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95

Winery Review: Light and young, this is a straightforward but enjoyable selection that would be an ideal match for light fare such as grilled chicken salads or fluke. Apple flesh, nectarine, and sweet citrus oil aromas and flavors appear on the nose and palate, while the short finish is infused with a flavor of green melon rind.

My Review: This wine was very lightly colored, almost clear. The nose was very aromatic, almost perfumey, with a sweet lily scent. On the palate this wine started off buttery, bitter on the mid-palate, and finished sweet and a little tart. The flavor change was quick but noticeable, and refreshing.
